Feathery white flowers grow on tall, foliage-covered stems, making the Nimbus™ White Meadow Rue a stunning perennial to include in a landscape. The upright stems of the Thalictrum Nimbus™ reach up to 28 inches tall, and the deep, dark green leaves slightly resemble a fern. Large, fluffy flowers bloom on the terminal ends of each stem. The blooms are white with a slight pink tint. Enjoy the blooms from May through June.
Plant the lovely Meadow Rue in a bed, border, or mass planting. The height and texture make this plant a wonderful addition to the back of a bed or planting, or the foliage can conceal a foundation wall or fence. Deer avoid the foliage while pollinators seek out the flowers. Grow the Nimbus™ White Meadow Rue as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 9.
Nimbus™ White Meadow Rue Care
This plant needs at least 3 hours of sunlight, so select a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. Meadow Rue can handle dry spells but continue to water during a drought to ensure the plant stays green and leafy. Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Fertilizing is unnecessary when grown in rich soil, while plants grown in lower quality soil will benefit from applying balanced plant food during the spring.
Deadheading will keep the plant looking neat and clean and may slightly extend the blooming period. Nimbus™ White Meadow Rue is a herbaceous perennial, and the greenery can be cut back in the fall or removed in the spring before new growth appears.
Nimbus™ White Meadow Rue Spacing
Nimbus™ White Meadow Rue is a mounded, upright plant that will reach 24 to 28 inches tall and spread 12 to 16 inches. Create a dense planting by spacing these perennials 12 to 16 inches apart.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
